Ep. 215: How Faculty Can Be Agents of Change
Cathy Davidson and Jody Greene discuss their new book and how academics can lead their institutions through crisis.
The partisan divide in the U.S. seems unbridgeable at times, and many issues in higher education are deeply dividing politicians. But with the 2024 election just days away, there’s a remarkable amount of alignment around the importance of workforce development and training and how to strengthen it.
A new episode of The Key explores the relative consensus between the parties and its implications. Joining the discussion are Amanda Winters, program director for postsecondary education at the National Governors Association, and Michelle Van Noy, director of the Education and Employment Research Center at Rutgers University’s School of Management and Labor Relations.
They examine how this alignment around workforce training is affecting policy development at the state and federal levels, and how November’s election might change what happens in the next few years, if at all.
